LOS ANGELES, Jan 9 (Reuters) — The final installment of vampire saga “Twilight” on Wednesday
dominated Razzie nominations for the worst films and movie performances of 2012, despite taking an
impressive $814 million at the global box office.

“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2” picked up 11 nominations at the Razzies, created
in 1980 as an antidote to what organizers see as the backslapping lovefest of Hollywood’s awards
season culminating with the Oscars in late February.

Of the five Twilight films based on Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling vampire romance series, the
final chapter fared relatively well with critics, earning an aggregate score of 48 percent based on
176 reviews on the Rottentomatoes.com website.

But that did not save it from the Razzies’ wrath, and as well as being shortlisted for worst
film and worst sequel, its cast was castigated in several categories.

Robert Pattinson was nominated for worst actor, co-star Kristen Stewart went one better with
worst actress nominations for Twilight and “Snow White and the Huntsman” and the pair were judged
to have “flunked basic chemistry” and featured on the “worst screen couple” shortlist.

Next in line for the not-so-coveted golden raspberry statuettes was the Adam Sandler comedy “
That’s My Boy,” about a father reuniting with his long-abandoned son, which netted eight
nominations.

Director-actor-writer Tyler Perry garnered multiple nominations, including worst actress for
his recurring role in drag as Madea in “Madea’s Witness Protection,” worst actor for “Good Deeds”
and “Alex Cross,” and worst director for “Madea” and “Good Deeds.”

Sandler will be unable to replicate last year’s success, when comedy “Jack and Jill,” in
which he played both the male and female leads, swept all 10 categories.

This year’s worst picture nominees include That’s My Boy, Twilight, science fiction film “
Battleship,” family film “The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure” and “A Thousand Words,” the
Eddie Murphy comedy-drama in which the story renders the funnyman practically mute.

A notable snub was sci-fi adventure flop “John Carter,” which Walt Disney Co. said cost the
studio some $200 million.
